I. Sangaré is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Nottingham Forest, rated 60.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 285th of 418 in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (74.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sangaré.
Judged on this season alone, Sangaré graded 49 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 43 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 4.5 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 49). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, 34th of 43 of the 43 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 28 Sangaré is in his prime years, and a market index of 72.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sangaré missed 7 games through injury (international duty, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 60.6, Sangaré carries the 34th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 43, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~121), then tapers with age. At 28, Sangaré sits on 72.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sangaré's projected Rating — 60.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
